HAWE Tech Podcast (English)

Programming electronic control systems appears to be a very complex task in the first sight. In many cases, however, there are simple tools to accomplish this task.

In the 24th episode of the HAWE Tec…

For applications in which products in accordance with the pressure equipment directive are used, component-tested pressure relief valves are required. These valves have special properties and functio…

The electrification of a truck-mounted loader crane is an environmentally friendly and efficient alternative to a diesel-powered vehicle. A hybrid configuration with a battery-powered hydraulic power…

The company HAWE Hydraulik is almost 75 years old. A good opportunity to look back into history. What was actually the first product HAWE developed and for which application was it designed?

In the 21…

A product is developed for a specific application, but is also perfectly suitable for a completely different field of application. This is the case, for example, with leakage-free pressure control va…

Hydraulic accumulators are used in many applications, e.g. to provide a peak volume flow, to compensate for leakages or to dampen pressure peaks. To select a hydraulic accumulator, different sizes ha…

UL and CSA are test marks required for electrically powered products in the USA and Canada. There are always misunderstandings about when a product is UL/CSA compliant and when it is UL/CSA certified…

Load holding valves are an essential component in many hydraulic applications. However, the requirements are different in the various applications: pressure range, pilot ratio and vibration damping a…

Automated guided vehicles are increasingly being used in many applications. In addition to transporting loads, lifting operations also have to be handled. This is where the hydraulic systems come int…

If cylinders with a high area ratio (large piston area, small annular area) are controlled in a hydraulic system by spool valves, there are some important points to consider. Special attention must b…

Digitization and machine communication are everywhere, also in mobile machinery. Standardized communication protocols enable components such as hydraulic valves, sensors and displays to exchange data…

Sustainability and resource efficiency are also becoming increasingly important for hydraulic systems. It is of great interest that servo-hydraulic systems require significantly less oil in the syste…

Electronic load sensing is an advanced technique that uses electronic sensors and controllers to adjust the flow of a pump. Compared to hydraulic load sensing, it offers several benefits, for example…

Load-independent synchronous movement of hydraulic cylinders is a requirement in many applications. In a number of cases, this can be achieved very well with flow control valves. But what exactly doe…

Ball, cone, plate - seated valves come in different constructive designs. Why is this the case, and which design is used in which applications? And what functions are poppet valves actually used for?

…

"Power on Demand" is the concept with which hydraulic drives can be designed to be energy-efficient. Unlike throttle controls, drives with servo motors only provide the power that is actually needed …

Compact power packs are used in many different hydraulic applications. The compact design offers the possibility of integration into the machine housing. In addition, these units are very energy- and…

In hydraulics, proportional valves are used in many different application fields. All these valves have in common, that pressure or flow can be adjusted proportionally to an input signal. However, th…

The hydraulic system of press brakes must meet a wide range of requirements in terms of machine productivity, machine accuracy and machine safety. During the bending process, six phases with differen…
